The Skin Disorders Specialist Library (formerly the Skin Conditions Specialist Library) is being developed as a "one-stop" resource bringing together high quality, evidence-based information on all of aspects of skin disorders, including their treatment and management and the impact they have on patients.

The Skin Disorders Specialist Library is funded by the NHS to meet the information needs of health care staff such as dermatologists, dermatology nurses, GPs, practice nurses, community nurses and NHS managers.

Patients, carers and the general public are welcome to use this site, but may wish to visit NHS Direct Online first. We regret that we are unable to respond to personal medical queries. For such matters we would advise you to contact NHS Direct or your usual doctor.
